Ammodesmidae are represented in western Africa by two species of a single genus, Ammodesmus Cook, 1896 (= Cenchrodesmus Cook, 1896, syn. n.). The type-species Ammodesmus granum Cook, 1896 (= Cenchrodesmus volutus Cook, 1896, syn. n.) is redescribed, based on neotype selection, as well as on additional samples, often containing numerous specimens, from Liberia, Guinea and the Ivory Coast. A new species is described from Mount Nimba, Guinea: Ammodesmus nimbasp. n.

Sex differences in cardiac energetics in the rat ventricular muscle.
Sci Rep

Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Cardiac sex-difference functional studies have centred on measurements of twitch force and Ca dynamics. The energy expenditures from these two cellular processes: activation (Ca handling) and contraction (cross-bridge cycling), have not been assessed, and compared, between sexes. Whole-heart studies measuring oxygen consumption do not directly measure the energy expenditure of these activation-contraction processes.

The identity of Inodesmus Cook, 1896 and its single species, Inodesmus jamaicensis Cook, 1896, has been a mystery for decades. This species was described from a Jamaican cave but not only did the repository of the type material remain unknown, but also the types were believed to be lost. Here we redescribe the species and designate a lectotype and a paralectotype from the newly found type material.

June 2024
School of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54 124 Thessaloniki, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the frying process of natural porous materials like potatoes by using horizontal acceleration to enhance heat and mass transfer during frying.
- The innovative frying device operates with a unique planetary motion, involving simultaneous rotation around two vertical axes, which helps create convective currents in oil and expel vapor bubbles from the food.
- The research evaluates how factors like rotational speed, oil temperature, and frying duration affect water loss and the taste quality of the fried items, aiming for a more energy-efficient and healthier frying method.
Impact of ventricular tachycardia ablation in subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator carriers: a multicentre, international analysis from the iSUSI project.
Europace
March 2024
Cardiology Unit, Luigi Sacco University Hospital, Via Giovanni Battista Grassi, 74, Milan 20157, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to see if a special heart treatment called catheter ablation (CA) helps patients who have a specific type of heart problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT), especially those with a certain type of defibrillator.
- They looked at data from patients who had either received a shock from their device or were in the hospital for VT, dividing them into two groups: those who had the treatment and those who didn't.
- The results showed that patients who had the treatment had fewer heart issues and lower chances of dying from heart problems over time compared to those who didn’t have the treatment.
